BANGLADESH. 4750.0, Bangladesh Betar (External Service), with major anomaly on July 31. CNR1, which
usually is well heard here, was off the air (CNR1, on 4800, was heard normally!); extremely rare for CNR1 to
be silent here; BB xmtr on at 1223 UT and immediately started their test tone; 1227-1230, distinctive IS; 1230,
time pips; 1231, start of news in English (not very readable); some nice selections of subcontinent music/singing;
a segment about the "Father of the Nation" (Sheikh Mujib) and Pakistan/Bangladesh history.

Would be wonderful if CNR1 stayed off the air on this frequency! Before 1223, did hear a very faint carrier (no audio)
on 4749.95, which must have been from the Voice of Indonesia, via Cimanggis/Jakarta (BTW - VOI on 3325, via
Palangkaraya, had a strong carrier today, but no audio at all).

I have not heard CNR on the frequency, but it was always Bangladesh Betar.  I used to be confused it with R Dunmis Uganda due to outdated information from SW Info and SW Schedule sites.

BB is clear albeit weak, and stable signal for long time, and I put several recordings of the BB RXing to my youtube channel.
There supposed to be Voice of Indonesia on the frequency after BB schedule, but I couldn't quite copy it.
I will keep trying.
